Q4 Can someone give me a definative answer on the oil i want a good fixed interval oil perhaps millers from GSF as i am going onto fixed as of this service

Any other thoughts will be good so feel free to fire away

Bump

As far as i know VAG dont do kits for the 1.8T. They do for the diesels and the 1.4 16v for example.

To be honest you want.

Cambelt

Cambelt tensioning roller

Roller damper

Water pump (metal impeller ideally)

Engine mounting to block bolts (3 x 16mm)

Engine mounting to chassis bolts (2 x 18mm)

Service should be pollen and oil filters. If your going to GSF see if you can get some Quantum oil, great stuff and much cheapness.

Nice one ross do you think genuine parts or GSF gear

Just got the bottom of the thread thanks mate

I need these as they are undo once items yes/no ?

I'm sure there's a proper name for them

And the quantum oil which grade 5-10/40 please advise again dude

Yeah the bolts should be replaced as they have a protective coating on them which comes off when removed.

Two choices on the oil, the silver can semi synth 10w40 is just fine but they also do a fully synth variety in a gold can.

Nice one again as always

If you do a good job mate, Your doing mine.

I ain't doing it myself but i'm sourcing the parts for my bud who is doing it for me

I'd have ago with him but i aint got time and i feel i must let him charge me for something as he let's me do loads of stuff for free and
